OOC Context: Yuri is coordinating relief efforts for the displaced Kappa and mods have approved temp housing for them in a warehouse provided by the Alliance. He'll need help from Lost Souls to get supplies there! Sutoku members will receive a message from him. If your muse is not Sutoku but would like to pitch in, you can assume word got out through the grapevine.

Hi gang. Been a fun month, hasn't it? Especially for our Kappa friends.

On a serious note, the Kappa are in need of shelter. I spoke with the Alliance and they've agreed to convert an unused warehouse to housing space. I'm looking for help with set up and supplies, as well as with getting the word out.

Message me if you can lend a hand. Every bit helps.

-Yuri

[ If you express interest, Yuri will follow up with details and the address of the warehouse. He'll ask you to use discretion who you share the location with since he doesn't want to attract trouble for the Kappa.

When you reach the location, you'll find a warehouse with running electricity and racks that have been pushed to one side to make room. The warehouse has been sectioned off into a sleeping area, a common area, and a storage area that the Kappa have been filling with equipment they've managed to retrieve from underground. ]





[ Yuri will be seeking volunteers to serve food at the food lines the Alliance has negotiated for from local restaurants. We'll need drivers to help transport nonperishable donations to the warehouse. People to carry it all. Bookkeepers to track the numbers. Anyone willing to network with nearby businesses to procure supplies or temp jobs for the Kappa to get back on their feet. Idk... morale boosting activities? Maybe someone can hook up a karaoke machine. Feel free to bring your own ideas!

If you need to get in touch with me, you can drop me a PM or message me on plurk ahlyo! ]

handwaved contributions

[playfoul]

We all have a lot on our plates and don't need to thread out all the logistics. Feel free to comment below with what your muse is contributing!

[medicative]

Emily will pretty much immediately come to offer aid to the Kappa, and though she hates her promotion she'll offer to use it to negotiate more with businesses to get more supplies on hand as well as funds if she can manage it, pointing out how much to their benefit it is to do charity work and the boost to reputations.

Beyond that, she'll do what she can get her hands on, like serving in the food lines, but she'll also want to look at anyone sick or with injuries from the...everything that just happened, since that's her area of expertise. In short, what free time she has, she'll spend it on this.

[playfoul]

Yuri will appreciate Emily's help, especially with her going out of her comfort zone and using her promotion to fundraise. I'm sure we have kappa recovering from this...hellish month dare I say. We're lucky to have a medic with us!

Ryouma has been trying to build relations with the local businesses since he got here, so he'll be using his recent promotion to capitalise on that as much as he can. He'll mostly be helping out with fundraising efforts because that's what he's good at and he wants the community to feel like pulling together to help the Kappa is also pouring money back out into the community beyond the Kappa too (so come and get your two for one deals and special limited-time promotions!!!).

Beyond the logistical business side of things, Ryouma will be helping out with moving supplies around. He doesn't mind a little manual labour and thanks to being a Rider-class Servant also has the benefit of being a really good driver!

If anyone has any money/business type dealings they can go to him reliably with anything and he'll help out!

[playfoul]

Nice! Ryouma's help will be welcome and Yuri would ask him if he'd be interested in taking lead on the fundraising efforts. Ryouma strikes him as organized and capable what with his quick action getting everyone together after the parade.

And we are certainly in need of good drivers. Yuri's riding skill is E rank with a growth penalty so even if he knew how to drive, I wouldn't trust him in a vehicle.

Wei Wuxian's been trying to build decent relationships with the nearby businesses (he's probably done odd jobs for a few in the Sutoku neighbourhood rather than sticking to one steady job). He'll use that as an in for further networking and negotiations for supplies while he's recovering and can't do physical fetching and carrying as well.

Keeping track of that on paper is how he gets roped into the bookkeeping side of things! He is actually pretty good at that when there's a pressing reason to sit and concentrate on the numbers, though he's slightly alarmed by modern calculators.

[playfoul]

Wei Wuxian's help is appreciated! Yuri will nudge him away from all lifting and physical work while he's recovering. Please rest, my friend.

Modern calculators are wonderful and unsettling, Yuri agrees.

[moondregs]

In spite of starting off his time in hell with his ‘indifference is my goal’ attitude Junpei is not actually capable of that and has sympathy for the kappa. He’ll show up and be best suited for work where he doesn’t have to socialize much, so carrying things most likely.

It probably doesn’t hurt Yuri is the organizer and he’s someone Junpei trusts.

[playfoul]

Yuri will be glad to have Junpei's help! He'll find time to check in on him, and if things ever calm down a bit, his dinner invite is still on the table.

[moondregs]

People always trying to feed this kid!!!!

But he’ll accept, he likes spending time with Yuri.

[psionicmolotov]

Kimmuriel is not super good at the physical side of things so he will contribute mostly by helping with book-keeping and stock-counting and all that resource tracking busywork that needs doing. He has a Vested Interest in keeping the kappa at least somewhat loyal to the Alliance so it's not all done out of pure altruism but hey, he's willingly contributing.

If the Kappa need a little more fortification in their temporary home to feel safer, he will also suggest ways to basically boobytrap everything for security, as well.

[playfoul]

Altruism or no, the help is appreciated! The Alliance definitely wants to keep the Kappa loyal, so this is a strategic play as much as it is charity.

Yuri is 100% down for boobytraps. You can never be too prepared.

[pathofsacrifice]

Artemy will come to help the Kappa; he actually does have the muscle to be able to carry all the items that need to be moved. So, leave it to him! He's Kin-borne, steppe-tough.

As far as morale building goes, he'll attempt to trade with the Kappa. Not anything of great worth or gain; it's items that he has -- pieces of chalk, paperclips, etc. He offers them and gives a piece of himself with each item. Figuratively speaking, it's a custom back home to trade and offer what you "have" -- your strength, your compassion, your warmth. He'll give those to the Kappa that are trying to find their own; something to hold until they can give it back to him, to the Alliance.

He'll be willing to trade with other Sutoku, for they are his family and to give to them is to give to the whole.

[playfoul]

We'll definitely need the muscle and aw, that's really sweet of Artemy! Yuri remembers that Artemy was distressed at the Sutoku meeting and considers the clan family. He appreciates Artemy connecting with the Kappa, hopefully the little guys will feel better with the outpour of support.

[pathofsacrifice]

One hopes!

And I'm sorry; I took an abrupt hiatus last month but was enjoying the two of them talking. He will still consider the yokai and Lost Souls as his family. Yuri is as a brother to him, and his efforts in doing this, in sending the call, will not be forgotten. Hand shake-handshake, Artemy will now die for Yuri.

[playfoul]

No worries, there will be more chances for them to meet in the future! ...n-no dying please, but Yuri's got his back, too!

Re: handwaved contributions

[aceslow]

Kim here will be helping with some of the organization - mainly in finding items that are easily overlooked - as well as helping transport bigger goods with a rental vehicle!

[playfoul]

Yes please! We need all the drivers this medieval boy does not know the first thing about cars. Yuri will appreciate Kim's keen eye for detail, too!

[worldbent]

Very late BUT, while Matoba is no fan of kappa more than he is of any other youkai, he recognizes the need to keep them within the Alliance politically, SO; with him still down an arm, he can help contribute by negotiating contracts for work with local businesses and bookkeeping!

He's also willing to give a little extra... insight, security-wise. If there's any worry about the kappa being targeted by anyone bitter about the Night Parade attack (or especially enemy clans), he knows how to set protective charms and wards that can be used safely by spirits to ward off malice. He'll only speak up about it if there's any mutters about that going around, though... He's keeping those pretty close to the vest.

[playfoul]

Oof, how many of us are trucking through injuries this month. Yuri will grateful to have Matoba's support with negotiations!

If the shelter starts to attract the wrong attention at any point, Yuri will be looking to secure the place as best he can. We can play it by ear and see how things develop!
